Rep. Chip Roy's FIERY message to federal bureaucracy amid shutdown debate

Congress is just days away from another government shutdown and Republicans in the House have yet to come to an agreement among themselves, never mind with the Democrats. Glenn speaks with Rep. Chip Roy (R-TX), who has had enough of the federal bureaucracy that asks for more and more money so it can continue its "war" against the American people. Rep. Roy tells Glenn what he's advising his federal Republicans to do in order to get the government back on track — so it can protect Americans at the border instead of investigating them at home. But will the new Speaker of the House, Rep. Mike Johnson, take a stand or cave to RINOs and Democrats?

GLENN: As the world burns down, what is our speaker of the House doing?

I don't know. Remember, we have the fight to aid Israel. And -- and not Hamas. We have the fight to secure the border.

We have the fight to discover the truth of what our government has really become.

By the way, I misspoke earlier today.

I said that we had all of the videotape from January 6th. It was my understanding, that we were receiving it.

Apparently, that is the word. But the Speaker of the House has not done anything yet.

You know, I'm sure he's very busy, doing stuff that is important. I hope that he is also working on the budget. And we're passing a budget. Otherwise, you know, two weeks, we come up to that. Oh, my gosh.

They're going to shut down the government.

STU: It's good to have optimism for him.

And everything that he will do. However, I know we supposedly will have access to all these tapes, when McCarthy is in. So I can't imagine we won't get them now.

GLENN: Let me get to Chip Roy, who is our congressman from the great state of Texas. Hello, Chip.

CHIP: Hi, Glenn, how are you?

GLENN: Good. How is our new Speaker of the House so far?
CHIP: Mike has been doing a good job. We have two weeks of data.

The first step, first big thing he did, was isolating Israel.

Making sure we pass a standalone, and then using the expansion of the Internal Revenue Service, to take 14 and a half billion dollars out of that pot of money, of 70-something billion sitting there, and use that to pay for Israel.

And, of course, our democratic colleagues are choosing the IRS over Israel.

GLENN: Right.

CHIP: Fortunately, 12 of them didn't. But we have to keep going down that road. That was the right approach by speaker Johnson. You have to encourage that.

And now as we're dealing with the spending issues. The so-called CR debate.

Continuing resolution we will have been to hold the line.

And that's the message we're sending to Mike this week.

That we love them. Love what he did on the IRS and Israel. Now on the spending bills, we need to fight.

GLENN: Yeah. We are -- we are in deep trouble with the spending, as you know.

And the securing of our border.

I mean, nothing is happening there.

Biden said, he was willing to, you know, secure our border.

It shows, he has absolutely no care in the world, for the damage that is being done to our -- on our republic.

CHIP: Well, Glenn, you're 100 percent correct.

And we've talked about this on your show. What's happening is totally indefensible.

And you know that. And I know that. Every American knows that. The number of people who have come in, the amount of fentanyl, the amount of deaths, the amount of danger the Texans are put in.

The impact on our economy.

The $10 billion we have had to spend in Texas, to do the job of the federal government.

So we have to do something about the border.

Now, the current thinking in this town, is that we need to leverage Ukraine in order to force border security.

And the problem is, I'm sure you will agree, that accepts the premise of Ukraine in the first place.

GLENN: Yes.

CHIP: So what we're trying to fight through right now, is what debate we need to have, about whether any more money to Ukraine is acceptable or defensible.

Right?

And so that's kind of a condition, we have to establish. And so we're trying to force that conversation. Transparency. Where the money will go.

How it's used.

Is it in our national security interests?

And if so, is it enough of that, to then warrant using it, as a kind of, you know, leverage point to force border security.

So here's a hypothetical. We tell the Democrats, look, your whole lives depend apparently on funding in other countries.

Proxy war.

So okay. You want to do that.

So let's say, $36 billion over 12 months.

This is a hypothetical, Glenn. I'm not advocating that.

If you do that, and we say 3 billion a month, provided however, there are no releases of any individuals in the United States, period.

And then we will dole out that $3 billion as a way to leverage, and force Biden, who has no interest in following the law.

So we pass HR2. Force him to sign it.

And then we dole out some dollars.

And say, look, we will hold you accountable to this.

And that's a hypothetical that we're discussing. And we might do that. But for me, the question before us right now, we have this funding of government question, coming up.

And I just want to ask you, and the people listening to your show. Do you think that I, as an elected member of Congress. Should agree to continue funding at the Nancy Pelosi spending levels of last December?

GLENN: No.

CHIP: And keep funding DHS, and keep funding Mayorkas, and keep funding the United Nations, and keep funding Anera, and keep funding the DOJ. Weaponize against the American people.

GLENN: No. No. No.

CHIP: In order to give time for appropriations bills to get negotiated. My answer to that is no.

You have to give me cuts.

You have to give me something, in order to buy more time to pass the appropriations bills. I'm glad we passed seven appropriations bills.

It's better than previous Congresses. But so what. Until they can sign into law changing policies and cutting spending, then --

GLENN: It means nothing.

CHIP: It doesn't do the American people any good.

So for me, I'm not going to vote for any sort of clean CR. And that's what's being floated. And some people in this town are trying to pressure Mike to agree to a clean CR, and I just flatout disagree with it and I will fight it.

GLENN: Yeah. They're -- Chip. Just the interest rate alone at what we are borrowing things at now, continues to go up. We by 2030 or 2033, we'll be able to pay for Social Security and interest.

Alone. Not the light bills.

Not any -- nothing. Just Social Security, what we've promised, and interest. No -- no war machine.

What the hell is wrong with people in Washington.

What do they think is going to happen?

CHIP: A 1 percent increase in interest rates, increases out total interest load about $180 billion.

Think about that, Glenn. And that's what we're doing.

GLENN: Well, I -- I -- I recommend, you have a hard spine here.

I don't think that there is any reason, to not go back to the spending levels of 2019, before the emergencies.

There's no reason. None. None.

Can you give me one?

CHIP: No. Glenn, I'm with you. And so I will give this little bit of grace, because it's important. Mike has been on the job. He's been here two weeks.

He's setting up his team. His first shot out of the gate was a good one. IRS funding for Israel.

I'm trying to help set the stage for the next steps.

And I'm sorry. I'm walking over to the mic. You're getting some echoing in the hallway.

But look, my pressure point here is, you have to change this town.

You give me something that I can sink my teeth into.

For example, fine. You want an extension of the current funding levels in order to buy time to get appropriations bills passed. Okay. But I want the disaster aid that we already passed by continuing resolution -- I mean, by unanimous consent.

Or whatever. When we voted for it, a few weeks ago.

We passed a disaster supplemental. That was unpaid for.

$16 billion.

I want to see Israel get that done and paid for. That's $30 billion that we will save.

And I want to see, a serious and concrete path for getting the appropriation bills passed for September.

You give me all that. Now you're in the ZIP code of something I can listen to.

But what about capping the so-called inflation reduction act subsidies that are destroying the American economy?

What about other changes that we should do to force spending down into freeing up the American people to create wealth?

What about border security?

So these are the things I'm raising.

Do not ask me to continue to fund the government, that's killing my people, that are at war with the people I represent. Because I can't do that.

GLENN: So, Chip, I have to throw another log on the fire here. I'm sorry to do this. Because I know you're so bogged down with everything else.

But there's a story that came out yesterday about the FCC. And we've talked to the commissioner of the FCC.

And it is the most far-reaching administrative state power grab in the history of technology. They're passing it next Tuesday. It's all, but done. It will take centrist Republicans to try to convince them to back off on this.

But it's three-two. For the Democrats. In the vote. Next week.

And it gives the administration, total control over everything. All expansion. All infrastructure.

All rates. Everything!

Everything under the FCC, and that happens Tuesday.

CHIP: So this is -- you are right. It's a log on the fire. I can give you about 20 logs on the fire.

Right. Right. No, right now, there are depositions going on for Weisz.

What we're seeing in terms of the Biden situation. Hunter Biden. The family corruption. We can go down the list of things that are happening right now with ATF.

And the exertion of their authority over the American people.

The prohibition of distributing weapons to people around the world, and helping people.

The extent to which -- the FCC, what you're just talking about right there, we've got -- there's a litany of things. Which goes to my point of the paying for -- of us funding a federal bureaucracy, that is at war with the people we represent, Glenn.

That's the question. Look, I said it on the mic in front of Republicans this morning.

I don't talk about private meetings very much.

So I won't say what other people said.

But I will tell you what I said.

Which was, how on earth, can we justify, spending at the current level that is last year's Nancy Pelosi levels. That 17 Republican senators joined with passed.

The rest of us opposed it. We all opposed it violently.

And now we will just vote for it again.

We will vote to perpetuate. You're going to do that for two years. We will spend and fund a DHS that is leaving our border wide open.

An IRS that is expanding, and going after citizens. A DOJ that is weaponizing and going after the American people.

The FCC that we just described. An ATF that is charging the American people. We will fund Anera. Right? Which is funding Palestinians.

Who are at war with the people of Israel. We will fund the United Nations who just voted against Israel, in favor of Hamas?

GLENN: USAID?

CHIP: In what universe would we do that?

GLENN: Not in any sane universe.

Chip, go into your meeting.

We'll say a prayer for you, that you are filled with the right words.

And you do no harm, and you can get across to the Speaker. And get him to do the things that -- that he will know he needs to do.

CHIP: Thank you, Glenn. God bless.

GLENN: Thank you. You bet. Buh-bye.

This AI could change EVERYTHING by next year

With Elon Musk’s announcement of Grok 4, humanity is closer than ever before to creating AGI – artificial general intelligence – which would change everything. Glenn Beck breaks down what’s coming in the next year with AI, which even Elon Musk called “terrifying.”

Transcript

GLENN: Let me tell you the biggest story of the day.

And I think it is the biggest story possibly of all mankind, as of today.

It's going to change rapidly.

I don't know if anybody -- did either of you guys watch the Elon Musk thing last night?

STU: No, I did watch a few minutes of it.

GLENN: Okay. Did you, Jason?

JASON: No. I sure didn't.

GLENN: Okay. So the xAI team was there to unveil Grok 4. This is the latest intelligence, and let me be very, very clear.

Last night was not your typical tech launch. This is a moment that demands everyone's full attention.

We are now at the crossroads, where promise and peril are going to collide. Okay?

I have explained to you, for years, AGI.
AI. AGI. And ASI. Narrow intelligence is what we've always had.

General intelligence is the next step. And that is, it's better that man, one -- one, you know, like Grok. Can do everything. That you can do.

Better that you can do.

Okay?

And then there's super intelligence. ASI.

Artificial super intelligence.

That's when things get really, really creepy.

When you hit AGI, the road to ASI could be overnight.

Okay?

We need to understand what's at stake here. Because Grok four brought us closer to that second stage, than ever before.

Grok four is a powerhouse. They demonstrated it last night.

It surpasses the expertise of Ph.D.-level sailors in all fields.

It can get 100 percent on any -- any test for any field, mathematics, physics. Engineering.

You name it.

This is not a search engine.

This is a system that tackles problems, so intricate, they -- they go beyond our existing knowledge base.

Okay?

Let's say there is -- let's say, we have a fusion reactor. And the magnetic containment system goes down. I don't even know what I'm talking about at this point.

But it goes down.

And the top minds all on earth are like, I don't know what to do. Grok 4 can step in, model the physics, design new material, stabilize the system, and avert catastrophe. And it can do it about that fast. Now, this is the capability, that Musk says is just around the corner.

Mark my words. You know, how many -- how many years did I say, between 2027 and 2030, we would start to see this?

STU: Oh, a million times.

That was always --

GLENN: For years. Right? Yeah, always the window.

And everybody, even Ray Kurzweil said, oh, that's way too optimistic. We may be 2050.

And then people started going, 2040, 2030.

Grok shows us 2026 or 2027 is when we're going to hit it. This is the last year, that we have, before things get really weird.

Okay?

Last night, Elon Musk is touting this -- this AI.

And all of the solutions.

And then he says.

Hmm. Probably three times.

Something like this.

And I'm quoting. This is one of them.

It's somewhat unnerving to have created intelligence that's greater than our own.

He then goes on to call it terrifying, twice.

Now, this is a man who has launched rockets, you know, into orbit.

Going to Mars.

And he says, twice!

You know, after he sees the results of it. He says, you know, it's really -- in a way, quite terrifying to see what it's doing.

But we just have to make sure that it remains good!

Oh, okay.

All right. Sure.

Now, the key point in the announcement was the mention of ARC-AGI.

I had never heard of ARC-AGI. I had no idea what it was. But I noticed AGI. And I went, uh-oh. That sounds important. So this is the gold standard. The bench mark testing for artificial general intelligence.

Okay.

As I've said before, AGI. Artificial General Intelligence is a machine that matches all human cognition, across all domains.

Reasoning, creativity.

Problem solving. Not just specialized tasks like playing Go or analyzing x-rays. Everything. For instance, Musk said by mid-next year to the latest end of next year, it will be able to create a full length movie, just from a text prompt.
And do it all at once!

So, in other words, it will say, create a movie, and you just explain the Godfather.

It will do the casting. It will do the writing. It will do the filming, if you will. It will -- score the music, and it will happen that fast.

Almost in realtime. We are nowhere near the computational power now, to do that separately.

But this will do it all at once. It will make a movie with all of it, simultaneously.

So the arc AGI system is the benchmark on how close we are to AGI. Remember, scary things happen at AGI.

Terrifying things happen at ASI. ASI could be a matter of hours, or days after we hit AGI.

Grok 4 scored 16.2 percent on the ARC-AGI scale.

Why is that important? You're like, well, only 16 percent away.

Because last time, it barely broke 8 percent.

And that -- they took that test, last time with Grok three.

And it took us forever to get to 8 percent.

Now, what is it? A year later.

We're at 16 percent. Remember, these things are not linear. The next time, we could be at 32, we might be at 64.

We are on the verge. This is the last year of -- I can't believe I'm saying this. Of normalcy. Okay?

This year is -- we're going to look back at this year, probably two years ago, gosh, remember the good old days, when everything was normal.

And you could understand everything.

This is how close we are!

Everything you and I talked about last night, Stu, about what we're doing in January, make -- put -- does it make it even more critical that that happens like, oh, I don't know.

Right now.

STU: Yeah. For sure.

GLENN: You are going to need to know your values, your ethics, your rights.

You are going to need to know absolutely everything.

Now, Grok 4 is not true AGI yet.

It lacks the full autonomy and the generalized reasoning of a human mind. But it is the closest that we've come.

It's a system that can adapt, innovate, at a level that outpaces specialized AIs by a wide margin.

This is a milestone. This is not a destination, but it's something that should jolt everybody awake. So here's what's coming over the next six months. By December 2025, that's this Christmas!

December 2025, he believes, Musk, that Grok 4, will drive breakthroughs in material sciences.

So, in other words, imagine a new -- brand-new alloy, that is lighter than aluminum. Stronger than steel.

And it revolutionizes aerospace and everything else, or a drug that halts Alzheimer's progression, tailored to a person's DNA.

Grok will drive breakthroughs through material science. So brand-new materials that nobody has ever thought of.

Pharmaceuticals that we never thought could be made.

And chemical engineering, putting together chemicals that no man has ever thought.

That's going for happen by December.

Imagine a chemical compound that makes carbon capture, economically viable. The climate change stuff, that's over.

It will be over.

Because this will solve that! These are not fantasies.

This is Grok 4.

Musk said something that he never thought. He believes that within the next year, by 2027, Grok 4 will uncover new physical laws.

So that will rewrite the understanding -- our understanding of the entire universe.

That there will come -- like there's gravity. Hey, you know what, there's another law here that you never thought of. Wait. What?

That, he says, will come by 2027. This is going to accelerate human discovery, at an unprecedented scale.

I told you, at some point. I said, by 2030. It might be a little earlier than that.

Things will be happening at such a fast rate, you won't be able to keep up with them.

And it will accelerate to the point to where you won't even understand what all of this means.

Or what the ramifications are!

Are you there yet?

In six months, Grok 4 could evolve into a system, that dwarfs human expertise in economics, defense, all of it.

Now, again, it's a bit terrifying to quote Elon Musk. Why?

Because we don't know, what else comes with this.

This is like an alien life form.

We have no idea, what to predict. What it will be capable of.

How it will view us, when we are ants, to its intellect.

Okay?

It is a tool, but it is also Pandora's box.

If Grok 4 is the biggest step towards AGI.

And maybe one of the last steps to AGI.

My feeling is: What I've been saying forever.

2027 to 2030, I'm leaning more toward the 2027 now.

Because of this announcement last night.

We are on the verge of AGI.

And everything in human existence changing overnight.

And as Musk said himself, two times, it's terrifying!

We should act like it is terrifying.

Or risk losing the control of the future, that we're all trying to build. That's the biggest story of the day.

I think! In my opinion.

Bill O’Reilly’s SOLUTION to the DOJ’s Epstein Files fallout

Bill O'Reilly joins Glenn Beck with his plan for how the Trump administration can fix the Epstein Files fallout "overnight." Plus, he explains why he believes there's only one way that former FBI Director James Comey and former CIA Director John Brennan get indicted by a grand jury.

Transcript

Below is a rush transcript that may contain errors

GLENN: All right. Bill O'Reilly.

Welcome to the program, sir! How are you?

BILL: Welcome. (inaudible)

And right off the bat, I have to correct you.

GLENN: Yeah. You're not alive. What know.

BILL: I mean, you know -- you don't know that?

GLENN: Yeah, yeah. No. I -- I thought you were dead. Anyway --

BILL: You were dead to me, oh!
(laughter)
I --

GLENN: I get it.

BILL: That's just another brick in your wall, Beck.
(laughter)

GLENN: It's good to talk to you, Bill.

Tell me -- you had a conversation with -- with President Trump, what, a couple of months ago, and I talked about --

BILL: Yeah. St. Patrick's Day, he invited me to sit on a cabinet meeting, which he does sometimes.

And he said, look, we've got files, Kennedy, King, Epstein -- what do you think? And I said, well, first Kennedy you've got to put out pretty much everything, which he did. King, he didn't. I don't know why. Because that's important too.

And then on Epstein I said, you have to be careful here, because this is now being used in political precincts. Both sides want to destroy anybody that was associated with Epstein. And the problem is that a federal investigation. They don't make a determination whether you had a -- what kind of relationship you had with Epstein. They just said, so-and-so had lunch with him.

Or maybe so-and-so had -- saw him at a party. And I said, any name of a human being associated with Epstein, in any way, that person is going to be destroyed. Because you know, the press is not going to put anything into context.

So I said, but it's very important that the Justice Department tell the folks what they know.

And you don't have to get specific with anything.

But you have to say, this is the information that we've compiled. And that's not hard.

And I don't know why the Trump administration is not doing that.

GLENN: Wow!

So, first of all, it's your fault, that we're not getting any names. We learned a lot here.

BILL: Probably my fault, but the president --

GLENN: You know what, I think you're right. I don't want all the names of the people. I want to know --

BILL: And I don't either.

GLENN: Right! I want to know the Justice Department has sorted through the things, and then have gone through. And said, this is criminal. This is not. These people are being indicted, et cetera, et cetera. But to come out and say, there is nothing there, I mean, it's -- it's at least --

BILL: It's ridiculous.

GLENN: It's mass incompetence, at least from Pam Bondi. How could she come out and say, it's all sitting on my desk?

And then when she doesn't release it, she says, well, that's because the FBI in New York is thwarting this process. There are people up there, that are trying to keep this from me.

And then she makes no arrests on that. We never hear about that again.

And then now all of a sudden, there's nothing to see.

BILL: Well, listen, Pam Bondi does not make decisions on her own.

No cabinet member does.

All the decisions come out of the West Wing.

So what I believed happened was, Trump was so obsessed with the big bill, with Iran, with Putin, with China.

That this -- they didn't even think about this. Okay?

GLENN: I believe that.

BILL: And it slowly began to unravel. And then I caught it by surprise.

But this is the easiest fix. Somewhere so easy.

BILL: So if I'm in charge, and that would be a great thing for everyone, except you, Beck -- but every other American, if I were in charge, tremendous. You would be in Botswana. Right.

GLENN: Right. Oh, I know.

Yeah. Yeah. I would be the ambassador of the white farmers in -- in South Africa if it were up to you. I know. I know.

BILL: No. You would be wandering around going, I am Glenn Beck. And they would go, who? That's what you'd be doing.

GLENN: That's every day.

BILL: So this could happen within the hour. Pam Bondi announces a press conference for tomorrow.

At that press conference, sitting next to her, is Merrick Garland, everyone.

You had this stuff for four years! Now, I understand that Mr. Garland has gone native and is living in a -- well, we can find him. We can pull him out of there, and have him and Pam, sit there and answer questions in a general way about what evidence the Justice Department of the United States has compiled.

GLENN: Not going to happen.

BILL: That's it!

Well, if it's not going to happen, then President Trump is going to take a hit.

But he's calculating that this will say that it's that night important.

But I don't know why you would not do it.

I just don't know. And I'm usually pretty good at predicting what the president does or does not do.

GLENN: So here's the thing, Bill.

I think he keeps focusing on Epstein. It's not that big of a deal.

It's not about Epstein. It's about justice.

It's about, can we trust the people -- correct!

It's all about credibility and justice.

And he's not seeing that. And I don't know how he's missing that. Because I agree with you.

He's been so busy on so many other things.

BILL: That's right. That's right.

GLENN: This is not at the top of his priority list.

But he did campaign on it.

BILL: Right.

And I don't know if there's anybody inside the White House.

He looks to be annoyed, when this subject comes up.

GLENN: Oh, I know.

BILL: And here's the -- what works -- you have to understand.

A guy like Donald Trump runs it all.

If he's annoyed, nobody will want to annoy him more. Okay?

GLENN: Oh, I know.

BILL: That's how it works. The older arch is, because Epstein got favorable treatment.

By the feds, in the first go around in Florida, that there's a deep suspicion about this case.

But if you break it down, if the Biden administration had any dirt on any Republican associated with Epstein. It would have been out.

And vice-versa.

If the Republicans had any dirt on any Democrats. Now, we know that former president Clinton, was involved with Epstein to some extent.

I don't know if that was a factor, okay? I don't know.

But your right for once. You're right. It's about credibility. It's about the American people trusting that we do have equal justice for all!

So what do you -- what do you make of now the Russia gate thing, coming out, today. Or yesterday.

The FISA court.

The fact that they're now saying, hey.

You know, we need to hold Brennan accountable.

We're like five or six days away.

Weeks away from him, you know, slipping past the -- the statute of limitations.

I mean, all these things are out today.

There's that. There is also the -- let's see here.

The Secret Service -- I think this happened a year ago.

But it's being reported as if it's news.

Secret Service suspends six agents assigned to protect Trump during a Butler assassination attempt. I mean, all these things are coming out. Like, look, we're busy on all these things. And I do believe they're busy on these things.

But it's like the Keystone Cops are in charge of the PR on this. It's bad.

BILL: Well, there's a lot of politics involved in both of those cases. Number one, in order to get Comey and Brennan to get indicted by a grand jury. Federal grand jury, and that's the only passage, you would have to have a whistle-blower, saying, yeah, these guys abused their power. I worked for them. And they absolutely wanted to get Trump.

And they knew the Russia dossier was phony.

And they did it anyway.

If I have that Justice Department.

Then you can get those guys.

If you don't have it, they will not be even indicted by a grand jury.

GLENN: So how is it that we do not have that Justice Department?

How do we not have that Justice Department?

BILL: Well, look. I don't know whether they have a whistle-blower or not, okay?

And if they have a whistle-blower, I want the case to go forward.

I want those two men indicted.

You can't do that, at that level.

As far as the Secret Service is concerned, monumental screw up. Everybody knows it. They fired the morons in charge of it. That woman -- I was embarrassed listening to her, trying to explain.

They didn't know what the deuce was going on. But this was across-the-board, in the Biden administration.

You know, it was a year ago Sunday, this upcoming Sunday.

GLENN: Right.

BILL: And it's just another example of how the Biden administration was the second worst administration in the history of this country. People have no idea how bad it was.

Every single agency was chaotic. Nothing worked. And this is just part of that. And we'll have a slew of stuff on Sunday. Nothing really meaningful.

I mean, they suspended the Secret Service agents, as they should have. They fired the director as they should have. The guy was a nut.

I don't know if there was anything more to that. I doubt it.

I'm more interested in the guy in the bushes. Because they don't know anything about him. I would like to know a little bit about him.

But again, the federal government, it doesn't really matter. It's the government. They never want to tell us stuff, Beck, never.

We always have to pull it out of them. It's almost like Russia or something. Come on!

GLENN: Right. Yeah. Let me ask you, let me take you back again to the Epstein thing.

I noticed yesterday, there were these people who were on the left. Who were taking tweets of mine. That say, look. These things don't make sense. On the Epstein thing. And they just have to be answered. And not anti-Trump at all.

And yet, the anti-Trump people were retweeting that, and they're trying to -- they're trying to get the right to fight against itself again and split people away from Donald Trump, where I don't think this Epstein thing is -- is splitting people from Donald Trump, at least at this point.

And I -- you know, I -- my wife stopped me from answering some of those tweets, yesterday.

Because it's never good, when you -- when I tweet in anger. Which I did.

But -- or was going to. What did you think about how this is being used against the right to try to separate us even more?

BILL: Everything is political. Everybody knows that for you.

But the MAGA people, from the mail I get. And I get a voluminous amount of mail. They're not happy.

GLENN: Oh, I agree. I'm not happy.

BILL: Now, are they going to throw President Trump under the cliché-ridden bus? No. Because to them, the greater good is being served by a fair tax bill.

Trying to cut waste.

Dealing with Iran effectively. And hopefully dealing with Putin.

That's another thing, that's on Trump's plate.

He has to deal with Putin now.

Has to. And that will be the next big story.

GLENN: How is he going to deal with it?

BILL: Lavrov and Rubio, are in Indonesia, as we speak.

And I assume that Rubio is delivering a message. That you either stop, or we're going to just absolutely crush you economically. Which the United States can do. By saying. No bank does business with Moscow.

And if you do business, no matter what bank you are, we're going to put you out of business.

Okay?

GLENN: Yeah. I've only got a couple of seconds. But didn't we already do that under Biden?

BILL: No! We didn't do the banks. We did the sanctions. And the sanctions they can always get around, because China is going to buy as much oil from Russia as possible.

You stop the banks, from doing all business with Moscow? Who is going --

GLENN: Isn't that what the SWIFT thing was all about?

When we kicked them off of SWIFT, wasn't that what that was all about?

BILL: No! Because they can still do a huge business with countries buying their oil.

And they got to pay Putin and Russia for the oil, and that has to go through the banking system.

If you stop the banking system, he can't get paid.

GLENN: Hmm, it's amazing. I'm glad I'm not the president right now. I think he's made some very brave decisions, and he is walking a tightrope. I mean, the world is on edge. And I pray for --

BILL: He looks very tired to me. Very tired. I haven't talked to him in a while, which is unusual. But you're right. You're absolutely right. That's the second time you've been right in this conversation. My God!

GLENN: I know. It's crazy.

BILL: What in the world.

GLENN: I was wrong about you being dead.

BILL: What is happening?

GLENN: It's good -- it's good to talk to you, my friend. Is everything okay? Is everything going well?

BILL: Everything is all right, Beck. We are not only successful, but that's old news. We've been that way for 50 years, but I appreciate you having me on your fine program.

GLENN: Okay. I love you.

BILL: Stu is still breathing.

GLENN: Hmm.

BILL: So that's good. Right.

But I've got a big book called Confronting Evil. Of course, we sent it, and of course you denied getting it. That comes out September 9th, so put me on a dance card.

GLENN: Well, we'll have you on. And you can also find Bill and his YouTube page. YouTube.com/BillOReilly. Or is it The Walking Dead?
(laughter)
He's not even laughing. Maybe he hung up. Bill O'Reilly, great to have him on.
